Lately a lot of offices here in the Philippines have switched to open source programs to save on the cost of buying original programs. I did my research on some alternative open source software to their commercial counter part and found out that there are a lot of pretty good and efficient open source counterparts.
Here are some of the list of programs that I am currently using and their commercial counter parts.
Open Source: Blender
Commercial Counterpart: 3D Max
Open Source: DoubleCad
Commercial Counterpart: Autocad
Open Source: Gimpshop, Gimp
Commercial Counterpart: Adobe Photoshop
Open Source: Open Office
Commercial Counterpart: Microsoft Office
Open Source: Gantt Project, Open Project
Commercial Counterpart: MS Project
Open Source: Google Sketchup
Commercial Counterpart: 3D Max
There are a lot more open source programs available and I'm still trying out some of them. I'll post some updates after I finish testing them.
